Anyone know these woods? Got told there were some nice DH style trails in there that are worth a look. Going to have a look around this morning if I can find them, but may end up just wandering around nameless woods!
You mean near Blackburn? They're okay, Phil saxena built the 2 trails there I believe. Good for getting your pump on and the odd rock garden, no jumps or drops iirc. Worth going if you're in area or live within 5 miles ish. Each track is a minute long or something
No, he means on the edge of Wigan.
Just head over and have a look, I'm sure you'll find something.
[url= https://www.blackburn.gov.uk/Pages/Billinge-Woods-mountain-bike-trails.aspx ]Billinge Woods[/url] is near Blackburn, whilst [url= https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billinge,_Merseyside ]Billinge village[/url] is near Wigan (and St Helens).
Confusing, isn't it?
Boundarywise , the Wigan one , is actually in st helens.
Billinge hill " lump " is the highest point of Merseyside.
The trails are easy to find in the woods.
I found them.
it was fun.
I bottled the big gap jump drop.
If anyone wants to meet up for a mooch around on another weekend then drop me an email.
Probably heading back again this Sunday morning for an hour or so - any locals want to show me the best lines etc?
St Helens my arse. I went there myself last week for the first time. Might go again Sunday or Monday night if I have time
Had another good ride there on Sunday, some good looking stuff appearing in there now.
